Maybe I didn't read enough or maybe there was nothing to read. Just installed Spiceworks on Win7 32bit and just like my previous attempt a couple months ago on WinXP - when I try to do an inventory scan it gets to about 3% and proceeds no further.

If there's some bit of magic or a good document anybody can point me to I would greatly appreciate it.

One word to note, it's not actually scanning on port 80, the web interface for your to access spiceworks both the user portal and admin dashboard are on port 80. The scans themselves run on a few different ports to get the information abotu the devices they are scanning. wether its WMI, SNMP, HTTP, etc, the actual scan is using quite a few ports.

Use the link benhar sent you, but read the entire page over, this gives you some in depth info regarding the network scan feature.

Let us know if you have more questions.

This is true, but if the scan isn't getting past 3%, then it's most likely getting stuck trying to get out to the network.

This is very helpful, thank you! I'll let you know what the outcome is. I was hoping this would be a little easier to accomplish - I'm still in the throws of working through all the "gotchas" from and installation of my 2nd vm host, Exchange, archiving, off-site replication, blah, blah, blah.
